Global and local axes

[Herman]

Hello, even it is related to V8, it is posted here.  If a kind member has some time, can he/she explain the switch between global and local axes. If possible with a little explanation of the benefits. Sorry for my ignorance. Thanks in advance.

Hallo, auch wenn es mit V8 zu tun hat, wird es hier gepostet.  Wenn ein freundliches Mitglied etwas Zeit hat, kann er/sie den Wechsel zwischen globalen und lokalen Achsen erklären. Wenn möglich mit einer kleinen Erklärung der Vorteile. Entschuldigung für meine Unwissenheit. Vielen Dank im Voraus.

Kind regards, Herman

global means relativ to the world:

local means relative to the selected object:

 

And with that information, I'm sure you can figure out the purpose?

Hallo @Herman,

ich werde demnächst die Anleitung für die neuen Quertragwerke erweitern. Diese sollen in einer Kurve aufgebaut werden und das geht am besten mit den lokalen Achsen.

I will soon expand the instructions for the new cross beams. These are to be built up in a curve and this works best with the local axes.

Hello @Goetz , I did know the difference, but put that question here because I could not figure out the purpose. Sorry. But thank you, maybe my euro banknote will fall soon ? 

Hello @Roter Brummer , thank you for your answer, I look forward to your Cross Beams.

Hallo @Goetz , ich kannte den Unterschied, aber ich habe die Frage hier gestellt, weil ich den Zweck nicht herausfinden konnte. Schade. Aber danke, vielleicht fällt ja bald mein Euro-Schein ? 
Hallo @Roter Brummer , danke für deine Antwort, ich freue mich auf deine Quertragwerke.

Kind regards, Herman

Sorry - I thought it might become obvious when you compare the two pictures.

Imagine, you want to move the track sideways. to build a second parallel track.
Which of the two gismos would be more appropriate?

Imagine you want to move everything a bit further north, because you want more space south of the tracks.
Which gismo would be more suited?

Thank you @Goetz , sometimes I'm blind ...

no problem - I'm happy to help.
But I sometimes need more than one attempt to figure out what it is that eludes the questioner.
